The following outlines are just that: outlines. Depending on your character some, all, or none of these may apply. Be creative and give reasoning when you vary from your cultural norms


Human
- Technologically inclined; Magika capable
- Have their own pantheon, though not all believe in the same version
- Mixed reactions to alchemy/necromancy depending on the alignment and social environment
- Most live in four-walls-and-a-roof style house. Apartment complexes are common in the city while or stand alone houses are found in rural areas.
- Age of consent: 18

Organic
- Max. age: 120
- Height: 3 - 7 feet
- Weight: 75 - 300 lbs

Bionic
- Max. age: 250
- Height: 3 - 7 feet
- Weight: 120 - 400 lbs

Cyborg
- Max. age: Unknown
- Height: 4 - 8 feet
- Weight: 150 - 500 lbs

Android/AI
- Originally created by humans but now reproduce their own kind
- Do not believe in a pantheon as they know their creators. Most do not discourage other races from believing in deity as they do not believe it concerns them.
- Unable to use magika at all; Weak in areas of high magika concentrations
- Considered by most organic life to be amoral, though this can be altered with enhancements and chipsets.
- Have no moral issue with necromancy or alchemy as they consider themselves a product of a similar process.
- Reside in the city in specialized apartment buildings. The rooms are significantly smaller as they require less space than a human.

- Max age: Unknown
- Height: 5 - 7 feet
- Weight: 120 - 300 lbs
- Age of consent: None. Most are asexual though they have been known to oblige other races. Consent is a matter of want rather than age as they are created with an adult understanding of intimacy.

Homonculus
- Created through alchemy
- Can be made in the image of any organic form
- Considered taboo by the majority of races, even most who accept the practice of alchemy
- Capable of magika or technology. Their creator can choose to make them transcendent.
- Age of consent: Based on the perceived age of the organic form it is based on

Elves
- Based on Forgotten Realms/D&D race concept
- Magika adept
- Pantheon is not concrete as different clans may follow different deity
- Dark vision

Wood
- Nature based and can be found mingling with other sylvan/fae races
- Believe in the balance of all things living
- Abhor 'unnatural' magika (necromancy/alchemy)

- Max Age: 1100
- Height: 5 - 8 feet
- Weight: 120 - 180 lbs
- Age of consent: Coming of age (usually 90)

High
- Favour learning
- Tolerate necromancy/alchemy in study but find the practice for leisure to be taboo
- Perceived as pious or distant
- Many are xenophobic and see other races as lesser, even among their cousin races
- Praise Corellon or similar as their deity

- Max Age: 1100
- Height: 5 - 8 feet
- Weight: 120 - 180 lbs
- Age of consent: Coming of age (usually 120 - 150)

Dark
- Most are evil aligned and follow Lolth (or similar deity)
- Good aligned drow follow Eilistraee (or similar deity) and are more like their surface dwelling cousins
- Thrive on secrecy
- Necromancy/Alchemy accepted, but not publicly acknowledged. The same policy is taken with other unsavoury deeds such as murder, theft, fraud, and lying.
- Innate use of glamour fire, simple levitation, and shrouds of darkness.

- Max Age: 900
- Height: 4' - 5'5"
- Weight: 65 - 120 lbs
- Age of consent: Coming of age (usually 120 for males; 70 for females)

Fae-type
- Magika adept to various degrees.
- Defined by two major courts Seelie (light, benevolent, helpful) and Unseelie (selfish, malevolent, deceitful). Not all are protected by these courts.
- Unable to lie completely but can deal in half-truths. Other magika adept creatures will feel the 'wrongness' of any lies and may feel uncomfortable when told a partial truth.
- Usually adept with specific elements (earth, air, fire, water, void, metal, light, shadow, etc.)
- Weakness to cold metals (iron specifically) unless specifically a metal type.
- Dark vision

- Max Age: 500
- Height: 2' - 3'
- Weight: 25 - 50 lbs
- Age of consent: 80

Dwarves
- Stocky creatures known for their ability with ores and fighting. It is said that both the males and females have beards, though this is misleading as most females remain in the mines to tend children and are rarely seen.
- Max Age: 900
- Height: 2'6" - 4'
- Weight: 45 - 80 lbs
- Age of consent: 120

Faerie
- Can pass as fully human or reduce themselves to a flying form. Wings may appear as human but would only achieve short term levitation.
- Max Age: 1500
- Height: 8 - 12 inches / 4 - 7 feet
- Weight: 1 - 5 lbs / 50 - 150 lbs
- Age of consent: 100

Banshee

- Requires hemoglobin to sustain life. This can be found in the blood of almost all animals, with the exception of fish.
- Created rather than born.
- Can be created from any creature, though humans seem to take to the virus more readily.
- 'Turning' involves a high fever, night terrors, cold sweats, and other flu-like symptoms as the virus annihilates your mortality.
- Immortal (meaning that they will not die by natural causes unless starved, not that they cannot die)
- Can reattach limbs (head excluded) but take a long time to heal as they are the closest thing to being dead
- Charismatic

Lycanthrope
- Stems from the same parent virus as vampirism
- Can be created or born
- Most mothers do not survive child-birth unless they maintain their were-form
- If the child is a half-were, the disease may be dormant though once it becomes active it will remain that way
- Forced to change by the full moon. Can choose to change during any other night. Cannot transform during the day.
- Transformations are allegedly very painful
- Tend to bond to pack

Half-breeds
Partial Anthropomorphic
